suited for a wide range of applications. They
are designed for both high-speed operation
and also for medium packaging speeds.
These cartoners can be switched flexibly
between continuous and intermittent – the
recommended mode for processing high
stacks, for instance. The PC 4000 cartoner
series packs up to 420 folding cartons a
minute in continuous mode.

• cGMP compliant design meets even the
most demanding standards in pharmaceutical production
• Easy access reduces retooling and cleaning times to a minimum

and makes format changes easy
• Ergonomic working height for maximum
operating convenience
Technical Highlights
• Positive carton opening system: servo
controlled carton pick-up protects the
materials
• Torque limiters for all drives
• Modular design allows bespoke feed
systems and the integration of numerous
additional functions
• Reproducible and tool-less format changes in under 15 minutes; stack heights can
be modified in less than 10 minutes
• No vacuum pumps: Venturi nozzles produce the vacuum for opening the cartons
and folding the booklets
• Low vibration and noise levels thanks to
servo motors and belt drives
• Minimal costs for maintenance: toothed
belts and pulleys instead of chains and
mechanical gears

Continuous or Intermittent Motion
The Romaco Promatic Bipak vertical
cartoner can be flexibly switched between
continuous and intermittent mode. With the
standard version, the folding cartons are
filled manually, which accommodated by the
machine design providing sufficient space
for up to four operators. Where Bipak is
optionally equipped with various automatic
feeding units, the cartons are filled using a
Pick & Place system. The products are always fed vertically from above. The cartons
are opened and closed automatically. The
Romaco Promatic Bipak is therefore ideal
for packing upright products.
